film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is

assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the

chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters

may not be recorded.

On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions,

moving pictures and still pictures are divided into

sections called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in

the menu screen and assigned a scene number,

enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is

composed of one or several tracks.

Track

the picture or sound track for a specific language
